The fleet is generally clean, reliable for the most part, the MTA finally achieving an all stainless steel fleet symbolizes the growth and modernization of the system.I don't think the MTA was ever looking to have "salad train consists" but they didn't have a choice nor could they do much about it due to lack of funding and other issues. The subways managed to keep a uniform look from the 1900s up to the 1950s, when new paint schemes where introduced. After 1964 with the World's Fair blue paint scheme, everything seemed to have went downhill with the motley of paint schemes and it wasn't until the early 90s when everything was sorted out in the MTA's favor with the Redbirds as the only non-stainless steel fleet in the system. |
